    Sadly we are in the minority and people think they should wait until stocks become expensive again, and then buy. I dont know, something is wrong with how people think about stocks.

        Because they believe the scary news and dont realize thats how ordinary people gets convinced to sell their stocks.

        They pick analysts that think the market will go down on the front covers when they want the market to dip, and analysts that think the market goes up when they want the market to go up.

        Its super obvious and people dont seem to realize they are manipulated. The investment firms make money both when it goes down and up.

        Best strategy in the world is to buy and hold when its very cheap, like right now, and ignore scary news. Dont sell.

        For example :

        Stuns wall street? They were the ones buying. Thats why stocks are up! And they bought because there are market indicators saying a lot of stocks have hit bottom. So while the scary news about recession were making the rounds last week, who was buying? Wall Street.
